The fourth point is an absolute misconception. My friend, who was a gm on ps4, started playing this season on pc on his brother's account. This account was placed at 1600 in gold. Now, he's currently at a season high of 3930. Definitely possible to climb out of elo hell. Keep in mind this is someone who is just playing his first PC FPS as well for about a month.
I don't think it really matters, go with whatever you feel better with. Maybe you shouldn't take my advice but I don't like bloom because I find it distracting and the spread info from the reticle is not that crucial. It's better to get a feel for it than actually looking at the reticle.
A dot is just simple and to the point: put the dot on enemy head so they die when you shoot. I can't really think of a case where knowing the spread of your shot is all that useful except maybe for Roadhog hooks since it has a huge hitbox? I dunno, it's still a minor detail.
This is excluding stuff like Hanzo's distance markers for non-hitscan weapons that have an arc though.
Original Overwatch was shit.
This is what I use for Soldier:

Nope. I had a no limits game where my symmetra got like 575 HP from shield generators plus Torb armor.
Out of nowhere, just like I always do. Here are my daily thoughts on Symmetra. I present to you Symmetra rework 2.0:
Photon Projector
- Beam no longer locks onto friendly Mei walls
- Orbs travel at different speeds based on charge (40 m/s uncharged - 10 m/s fully charged)
Photon Barrier
- Larger surface area
- Moves slightly slower
Sentry Turrets
- Faster placement of turrets, formation speed increased
- No movement speed penalty when placing turrets
- Location/activation shows on teammates hud
- Slow effect increased (?)
Ultimate
- Pressing Q twice after placement allows her to destroy her ultimate
- Location/attack status shown on teammates hud
- No longer synergizes with Torbjorn armor packs (Shield Generator)
Honestly I would be open to them combining the ultimates into one and doing the following:
1. Lower HP/Shields to 300 total
2. Teammate shield amount reduced to 50
3. Infinite teleporter charges (This isn't as OP as it sounds, in fact this should have been with the old teleporter with how quick it was destroyed).
I dunno, I hope they continue to make adjustments to her like they would a new character. I still feel as if her kit is pretty underwhelming and is only the super situational kit is was before, just better at that niche. And the only reason this irks me is because they (Blizzard) didn't like the fact that she was so situational.
The turret buffs I suggest could make it so she isn't so much a static defense character too.

can't be serious with some of these changes, shes already stupid at what she does this would make her oppressive. IF anything her main weapon needs to go down in damage like 2-5 per tick and then she'll be fine. Shes gotten her buffs, move on to someone else

lmao, my Sombra POTG hacked a Widowmaker Mistletoe one. That's just mean.
Zen's still my favourite/most played by quite a margin, but I'm finding Soldier really appealing.
Being able to assist your fellow offensive players on the front line is a great feeling, and his general play style is comfy as hell.
The one thing I wasn't happy with was the reticle...
That looks great. I can imagine it feels very pin-point. Going to try it out later!

I've thought about getting into this game - is it PC or bust?
Too hilarious.
No. Console version is plenty good and has a thriving community on here (well PS4 anyway).

Well that's me done for the christmas event! Got a pretty good haul towards the end.
And I didn't have to spend a penny!

I remember how people claimed that was healthy for the game and that hero limit would make the game die an early death. Man those old tourneys with those stupid comps were just so bad
wait so how do pure payload ties work? on gibralter the other team got 2, we got 3, and we stopped them really close to the end in overtime. but they still got 1 minute to push the payload. if they get it to the first checkpoint it's a draw? or would we have to match whatever they get it to past the first checkpoint? because we stopped them before the first point and won anyways

Remember when everyone would go DVA to stall things out?
Also I don't think it's possible to draw a payload in that scenario.

Keep on getting matched with a guy on 3v3 who just does the wall glitch and forces draws. Ugh.
Have to catch up to my Pharah in order to boost her.

Thought it was today as well. Maybe it's been extended? Or set to end at midnight EST, maybe.

Had a game where people went torb, junk, sym, bastion, and widow on defense.
I switched to hanzo just to make a point.
We quickly lost the first point, changed to a more sensible team comp, and won the game.

Today is the last day for Christmas loot boxes according to the time blizzard set.
lost two comp games and thought the next one will be different. Had a leaver.
qued up again despite this and got a dude who insisted on playing his 30 minute Hanzo instead of his 10 hour Zarya. Went Zarya for a little bit but switched to Hanzo because some one on the team pointed out he wasnt doing anything. I dont get that mentality

Anyone got some 2017 New Years Resolutions for Overwatch?
Junkrat has pretty much zero hours of playtime from me. I'm thinking about trying to get good with him, use him in more matches. Might decide to watch some pro tracer videos to see if i can get some decent level of mastery with her, since she is my mei main. My main after Mei.

PS4 is aaaaaauuuuhhhhhhliveeeeee. Matches are never hard to find and I don't have to deal with chat typing or anything.

Is there a reason you chose the color green? More noticeable on screen?

Gotta buy 50 next time.
I really don't think you understand the character if you think some of these changes would make her much better than she is right now. The character actually has a lot of issues that haven't been touched upon that literally wouldn't affect the balance of the game at all. Locking onto friendly Mei walls for example, shouldn't even be happening at this stage of the game.
Most are literally just QoL changes. The rework was supposed to make the most situational character not as situational, which it basically just made her better at what she did, which means the rework failed in some degree. What parts do you think are "too much"?
Yeah, I think it stands out well against the red highlight of the enemy team.
Also green is my favorite color, but that was secondary.

Green is one of the few color options that won't get drowned out by background color
Last box of the event, a legendary, omg omg omg, ana wastelander skin, lol.
whatever colour you prefer, I do magenta.

I guess people are still talking about Symettra but yeah she is the definition of overpowered. My win % with her is 75%! I played her the whole day today no matter what game (KOTH or Payload) on Comp and I've probably won 4 out of every 5 matches.
I need to play Roadhog more. I apparently have a talent for landing hooks. I'm not great at snap aiming, but I can predict where people will go pretty accurately. It's why I play Zarya.
In other news, another night where every god damn soldier player never looks up. Meanwhile when I'm on Pharah I run into multiple McCree gods despite never having seen one in days.
